Novosibirskiy metropoliten Novosibirsk Metro is a rapid transit system that serves Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia. The system consists of 15.9 km over track on two lines with 14 stations. It opened in January 1986, becoming the eleventh Metro in the USSR and the ninth in the Russian SFSR. According to 2017 statistics, it is the third-busiest system in Russia behind Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

History

Plans for a rapid transit system began to be formed in 1962. The construction project was approved by the Council of Ministers in November 1978, and on 12 May 1979 the first construction works began.

With wide experience in metro construction from the other metros of the USSR, it took seven-and-a-half years to complete the work on the five-station launch stage of the system. The commissioning certificate was signed by the state commission on 28 December 1985, and the Metro was opened for passengers on 7 January 1986, becoming the eleventh Metro in the USSR and the ninth in the Russian SFSR. Work quickly expanded to meet the original plans for a four-line 62 km network. However, the financial difficulties of the early 1990s meant that most of the work had to be frozen. Construction of new stations and tunnels resumed in the 2000s. After the opening of the 13th station, a further development was suspended again due to financing gap.

Overview

The system contains 14 stations on two lines. The stations are vividly decorated in late-Soviet style. Of the 13 stations, seven are three-span shallow column stations (, , , , , , ), one is two-span shallow column station (), four are single-vault stations (, , , ).
